Fire safety in elevators begins with the right standards.
Lift landing doors play a critical role in preventing fire and smoke from spreading between floors through the lift shaft. The updated Indian Standards framework introduces specific fire-resistance testing requirements for lift landing door assemblies, covering integrity, insulation and, where applicable, radiation.
Vispute Shrihari, General Manager, Regional Code Strategy & Compliance (APC), Otis Elevator Co., outlines the requirements under IS 17518-2:2021 / ISO 3008-2:2017, the key changes introduced through BIS standards, and the importance of testing at approved laboratories.
Understanding these requirements is essential for manufacturers, installers and other industry stakeholders working to strengthen lift safety and regulatory compliance.
